About this person
Hugo Armando Carvajal Barrios, nicknamed El Pollo (born April 1, 1960), is a Venezuelan diplomat, retired general and narcoterrorist. He was the head of the military intelligence in Venezuela during Hugo Chávez's government, from July 2004 to December 2011. Carvajal was arrested in Spain on 12 April 2019 based on an arrest warrant from the United States for 2011 drug trafficking charges. After the Spanish courts approved his extradition to the United States Carvajal went into hiding. On 26 March 2020, the U.S. Department of State offered $10 million for information to bring him to justice in relation to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism. In 2021 he was arrested in Madrid and was extradited two years later to the United States. In 2025, he pled guilty to all criminal charges.
